Catenanes are organic compounds with ring-like molecules that are mechanically interlocked. The mechanical locking system in such molecules is so robust that they can only be disentangled via covalent bond cleavage. A recent study has presented a new strategy for controlling the chirality—the property where a molecule has non-superimposable mirror images—of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) like catenanes, without changing its overall shape via non-covalent means.

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and more comparable to that of a neutron star. Whether we understand the behavior of an electron in such strong fields is still an open question.
We investigate the hypothesis that mineral/water interfaces played a crucial catalytic role in peptide formation by promoting the self-assembly of amino acids.

In simulations with multiple glycine [...]The post On The Role Of α-alumina In The Origin Of Life: Surface-driven Assembly Of Amino Acids appeared first on Astrobiology.
Billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's businesses have relied greatly on government funds, rescuing them from certain doom on several occasions. In early 2010, Tesla received a $465 million loan through the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, allowing it to establish crucial supply lines for its Model S production and buy the Fremont factory in California from a bankrupt Toyota and General Motors venture. It was a massive, taxpayer-funded lifeline that came at an extremely important time for Musk's EV maker, but over 15 years later, the situation looks dramatically different. As Jalopnik reports, the billionaire's Department of Government [...]

The human genome is like a big ball of yarn, made up of 3 billion molecular units arranged in sequence and then wrapped up around itself. Within this ball of yarn are your genes, which are regions of DNA that get copied and then turned into miniature molecular machines called proteins. The three-dimensional structure of the yarn dictates which of your genes get turned into proteins, and when this system fails, disease develops. But until now, it has not been possible to visualize how different regions of DNA talk to each other across space and time.

A newly discovered species of caterpillar in Hawaii is unlike any other. It's carnivorous — already an extreme rarity for these usually benign creatures — and when it's not devouring its helpless foes, it's cloaking itself in a gruesome canvas of their body parts. There's a reason why scientists have nicknamed it the "bone collector." As detailed in a study published in the journal Science, the caterpillars favor lurking in spider webs hidden from view, like in a tree hollow or rock cavity, where they strip the corpses of insects ensnared in the silk traps, and daringly avoid the detection [...]

Images of Mars never cease to amaze. This latest image of NASA’s Curiosity Rover captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the rover as a dark speck and the end of a long trail of tracks. It was rattling along at a speed of 0.16 km/h across the Gediz Vallis Channel and was headed towards a region that could have been formed by water billions of years ago. The weather on Mars won’t allow the tracks to persist though so they are likely to last for only a few months.
